Hi Barbara,

Welcome to the c-palsy list.

As a ' very special child', born with cp, who now has ten ''very special'
grandchildren all 'normal. I think if you can learn to relate to all kids as
if they were just the run of the mill kids, you'll be able to drop the
benevolent attitude and become the best Educational Assistant any kid could
wish for.

Relax and good luck.

Regards,
Roslyn McKearney

   Hello:

   My name is Barbara.  I have returned to school after twenty years and in
April I willgraduate as an Educational Assistant.  I have done some work
with children with disabilities and I am looking forward to doing this full
time.  I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to do something that I
have wanted to do for years, working with very special children.I was hoping
some of you would be kind enough to share what you would like to see in a
person who is working with your child. Because I will strive to be the best
E.A.

   Thank you.
   Barbara
